The normal pool elevation of the reservoir was planned for approximately 328 feet above sea level and to inundate approximately 433 acres. The reservoir has a drainage area of approximately 14.5 square miles and a volume capacity of approximately 3,370 million gallons when water level reaches the maximum pool level, 335 feet above sea level.
